Like any normal human being you've probably grappled at some point with a mixture of procrastination or smartphone addiction. With smartphones making a huge impact on society in the last few years things have changed for better AND worse. Access to anything is at your fingertips, but this makes it hard to concentrate or maintain self control.

Are you experiencing issues with self control? Do you want to stay focused? Would you consider yourself to be a major procrastinator?

That's why we developed this app - to help curb procrastination, distractions and maintain focus. Detox is a timer designed to stop you from messing around on your phone needlessly. It can even be used as a way to give yourself a digital detox. As a bonus the app also includes an uninstaller! You can also view your session history from the History Screen.

Once you start a timer session the app will check your usage during the period and dissuade you from getting distracted by other apps. It's really easy to start a digital detox, just:

1. Launch the app.
2. Choose a time with the pickers.
3. Hit the padlock-shaped icon and confirm.
4. Study away, without procrastination and distractions.

Main Benefits
1. You can slowly improve your own self control.
2. It should become easier to stay focused and keep on top of your tasks.
3. You can break free from needless smartphone use.
